Roasted Carrots


Roasted Carrots

I just wanted to share this recipe I discovered tonight .
Really easy, really simple, and really yummy. You'll never go back to boiled carrots again!

30 min | 10 min prep

SERVES 4

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole.
  3. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  4. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
  6. Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.
I didn't have kosher salt tonight when I made these, so I just sprinkled them with some garlic salt. Being the dill lover that I am (NOT!) I sprinkled them with parsley flakes before serving. They were DELICIOUS!!! This is coming from a person who would only eat raw carrots as a kid. :)
